‘Love has always been transactional’ – Singer Omawumi

Popular singer Omawumi has shared her opinion on the widespread claim that modern romantic relationships are transactional, arguing that it has always been so.

In a recent interview with Pulse, the ‘Bottom Belle’ crooner explained that love is transactional in nature, but admitted that it has become more demanding than before.

Omawumi stated that during her youth, impressing a woman doesn’t cost much but nowadays, it is expensive due to modernisation and inflation.

“Love has always been transactional. Women have always been demanding since the beginning of time. But during my youth, our transaction was different because you can impress your crush with just ice cream and popcorn. But now, it is iPhone,” she said.

The music star, however, said society sometimes amplifies the transactional nature of relationships by ignoring women’s reciprocation.

She added that most men who complain about the transactional nature of relationships put themselves in the position by dating women with higher tastes.
